It is recommended that all Kansas schools close for this week through next Sunday the 22nd. Cheney is on Spring Break so we are not currently affected by the closure, but 42% of schools in the state are not on Spring Break.
Our facilities will remain empty this week as our maintenance and custodial staff are doing a deep clean.

As we learn more, we will provide updates. During our time away we ask that everyone do their part by practicing good hygiene and social distancing measures.
